Gajanana & Gang is special because I’ll be seen on screen after three years: Shri Mahadev

Three years ago, television actor Shri Mahadev made a promising debut in

Kannada films

with

Iruvudellava Bittu

. “But Covid hit soon after and I couldn’t be seen in films as much I’d have wanted to. But now Gajanana & Gang is here now and I’m so grateful that I’m finally going to be seen in screen. Which is why the hero introduction teaser that was released recently is so special to me,” shares Shri.

The film sees him in various looks and a shade of all those were portrayed in the teaser. “It was a big surprise that came my way from the team and the fact that it was released on Ganesha Chaturthi made it all the more important. Ganesha is also known as Gajanana and I play Gana in the film, so this formed a special connection,” he says. His varied looks also fetched special appreciation from viewers and Shri is happy that his efforts have paid off. “The background music by Praddyottan has also attracted everyone’s attention,” adds Shri.

Meanwhile, Gajanana and Gang is a youth entertainer and is directed by Abhishek Shetty of Nam Gani BCom Pass fame. Shri plays a college student with Aditi Prabhudeva playing his leading lady. The film is said to be a mix of comedy, romance and drama. Another highlight is that Power Star Puneeth Rajkumar has lent his voice to a track in the film. Apart from this film, Shri also awaits the release of

Hondisi Bareyiri

, which has him part of an ensemble cast.
